Seek (in the trash) and you shall find...

Freegan update...For about a year, I've wanted to have a greenhouse, not a really big one which would be too expensive, but a small, portable one. Well, last week, imagine my surprise when I found a small, portable greenhouse in good shape in the trash last week in our neighborhood. It's about half as tall as me, with 2 shelves and an open bottom, so it can be used as a cold frame to grow lettuce, spinach, and other crops in the ground during cold weather.

Apparently, trashpicking is garnering media attention, as evidenced by this MSNBC piece dated today (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24879628/). I feel so hip...
